Huh – did you say Crisco Olive Oil?

Crisco certainly isn't the first brand that comes to my mind when I think "olive oil," so I'm assuming it's the same for you all. However, I was pleasantly surprised to discover that it's actually quite good. I've been successfully substituting it for my more expensive olive oils over the past few weeks.

Here's just one example of the tasty recipes that you can create with it.

Place the grape tomatoes, bocconcini, proscuitto, olives and capers in a large bowl; set aside.

In a small bowl, whisk together the white wine vinegar, mustard, black pepper and sugar. Slowly add the Crisco Extra Virgin Olive Oil in a steady stream, whisking while pouring; whisk until dressing is well blended. Whisk in the chives and oregano. Pour dressing over salad; gently toss to combine. Refrigerate, covered, several hours or overnight to allow flavors to develop, stirring occasionally. Season with additional black pepper if desired. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the tomato mixture to a serving bowl. Garnish with fresh oregano sprigs, if desired. Serve.

Yummy!

I can't believe it took me so long to discover olive oil. I use it in our cooking and baking (except for sweets).

My FAVORITE use for it is on salads. I drizzle olive oil, the juice of 1 lime (or lemon), and salt. The flavors are SO yummy together!!! TRY it! (Amazing over red lettuce, tomato, avocado, and red onion)

I use olive oil in almost all my cooking (except sweets) my favorite use is for chimchurri (and with all the free bread from target I think I've gained a ton of weight - sigh) my recipe for chimchurri actually came from the crisco olive oil ad! thanks for your great blog!!

My husband and I have mastered the art of making great homemade pizzas. We love using the olive oil on our pizza crust prior to adding any ingredients. The olive oil gives the pizza a wonderful flavor and adds in the cooking process.

I use olive oil almost exclusively, except in baking. One of our favorites is zucchini, yellow squash, and red peppers tossed in olive oil and Tony Chachere's seasoning. They are yummy cooked in a skillet on the stove, but even better on the grill. For a quick summer salad, we like tomatoes and cucumbers tossed in olive oil, garlic, and Italian seasoning.
Thank you for the giveaway!

I just started buying the Crisco olive oil and I just love it. I used in when making brownies the other day and they came out fabulous. I also made some breschetta and it was simply devine.

I don't use olive oil :( It's too expensive for me.
But I like the taste and smell of it!
I know that olive oil is good in salads and very healthy as well.
I know that Moroccans eat fresh warm bread with olive oil. I tasted it ones. That's amazing taste! I still remember it!
